How are we meant to get to Queen Rank 3?

Or "is anyone even Rank 2 yet?" or "yet another Queen's Wrath post!" So, with the event finishing a week today I can't see anyone getting to rank three legitimately, the numbers just don't add up. I've done every bounty except for a few of the headshot ones because sod that, and of course the ones requiring the class item be equipped that are unobtainable yet keep popping up. I've had the shader and emblem on to get the (poorly communicated) 10% rep bonus from each and I am a little over halfway to rank 2. If I'd done the few I missed I reckon I'd be about two thirds of the way there, maybe a little less. I seriously doubt rank 3 is reachable even with doing every bounty every day. Yes you could do the bounty refresh glitch if you really wanted to, but I really don't fancy having the banhammer swung in my general direction. However, I think this is something Bungie definitely need to look at as it lays the foundation for future events. If they can fix a loot cave they can fix this. Things I would address: 1. Increase the pitiful low rep payout or decrease the rank requirements. 75-100 per bounty out of 3000 required? What? Going from 1000 required to 3000 was more than a little jarring and progress even with the 20% boost is at a snail's pace. Would 1500 not have been sensible? Whatever do you need for rank 3? 2. More bounties. Just have every possible bounty available every day since it's a small selection. That way nobody can have a pop at a slot being wasted on the class item bounties as they'll become usable faster, or a crucible bounty taking up the slot of a PvE one. 3. Rep payout from Kill Orders too. That would make them a little less pointless now, since it's not like they're good for shards or anything. 100-150 rep would be fine, I'd play the Riksis mission a bunch more times for that! Now, maybe this is the long game. Maybe this is set up so we can get rank 3 next time this event runs. But that seems a little daft to me considering the start of the event pointed out the shader, emblem and the fact the guns for sale are replaced by stronger ones at rank 3. I'm not saying these items should be handed out like candy on halloween, but I think events should be enjoyable for all. Let the more hardcore players knock it out at speed if they want, but run it long enough and structure it better to give the players who can't spend so much time with the game ample opportunity to get the goodies by the end as well, so long as they do put some time in. Because I'm somewhat in the former category and I don't feel the event items are obtainable even for me. Thoughts? Ideas? Further suggestions?

  • I doubt that Queen's wrath will be a one-time event. I ran some numbers and figured out it's impossible for me, where my Queen rank is now, to hit 3. No doubt there's other people in the same situation. Did manage to get the weapons, R1 shader, R1 emblem, and a regal-as--blam!- cape though, so I feel satisfied with the event overall.
